In the current situation the dust flag in the TCS is set to ``high''
in the case the staff on duty considers the weather to be dusty.
Specifically, setting the flag to high lowers the wind levels to close
the side-ports and lower hatch, and to close the telescope completely.
This visual determination is of course not a very objective measure,
but there is also no well established level that defines which level
is too high. It was considered to be better to have at least a
specific level which is formally considered to be dusty, where a value
of 20 as provided by the TNG aerosol measurements was
noted to be a rather conservative indication of the weather being
dusty. This was implemented such that the weather page, in line with
other weather parameters such as wind and humidity, provides a warning
message in case this value is exceeded. This still leaves the
responsibility with the staff on duty to define if the weather is
truly dusty and set the flag in the TCS.
